Dry fruits are either fruits with a naturally dry pericarp (fruit wall) or, more commonly in the culinary sense, fresh fruits that have had most of their water content removed through drying methods like sun-drying, dehydrating, or freeze-drying. Both types are nutrient-dense, rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats, making them a good source of energy and beneficial for heart health and digestion. Common examples include raisins, dates, prunes, and figs, as well as nuts like almonds and cashews, which are often categorized with dried fruits.
